DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Dolly by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Dolly:

Her estate was inventoried in October 1808. https://www.lva.virginia.gov/chancery/full_case_detail.asp?CFN=083-1813-027#img

She could not therefore have died in 1809.

This is problematic if the marriage date (1749) for Dolly and William is correct, because Thomas Coleman's will (which names "my daughter Dolly Hoskins") is dated Feb. 10, 1748.

That he and his brother Samuel would both marry women named Dolly Coleman (two different women) is certainly odd.

Because Dorothy married Samuel, not William. See Dorothy (Coleman) Hoskins (1720-1809) there are sources attached to that profile that help explain.

So the information on this page is not correct? William Hoskins' wife Dolly was not Dolly Coleman?

I can not find any records for William and Dolly being married.

https://www.geni.com/people/Dorothy-Hoskins/6000000001577912031 has her married to Samuel, and there are records for being father of the bride but with no mention of his wife, daughter Mary https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X5YR-H89 : 29 January 2020, Daughter Nancy https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X5YR-35Q, then there are sources for "Family Data Collection", but no actual records. Searching all records on Ancestry in the 1700's Virginia there is a will that mentions Child Dolley Stone, https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/134402:62347?tid=&pid=&queryId=f8d93433a2533ce14cc6a666abeff727&_phsrc=jqY3788&_phstart=successSource. I am just not finding any records for William and Dolly being married.

There is no doubt that the wife of William Hoskins was named Dolly. We also know that William and Dolly had a son named Thomas C. Hoskins. Their daughter Mary/Molly had children named Coleman Stone, Thomas C. Stone, and Dolly Coleman Stone. Their daughter Dolly also a daughter named Dolly Coleman Stone. So the naming patterns certainly suggest that Dolly Hoskins was the former Dolly Coleman, daughter of Thomas Coleman. We know from the will of Thomas Coleman (dated February 1808) that he had a daughter named Dolly Hoskins. According to the family Bible of William Hoskins Jr., his mother Dolly was born on November 10, 1732. If this Dolly is the daughter of Thomas (and assuming the Bible has her date of birth correct), then she could have been no older that 15 when she married William Hoskins Sr.

So while the names very strongly suggest that Dolly Hoskins was born Dolly Coleman, the date of birth makes it a little problematic.

Here is a very helpful chancery case for sorting out the family of William and Dolly Hoskins: https://www.lva.virginia.gov/chancery/full_case_detail.asp?CFN=083-1813-027#img

Coleman-3647 and Coleman-712 appear to represent the same person because: This is the oldest maternal ancestor in this chain in need of a merge. No tree conflicts. Thanks!
